Description
The Viking Age was a period of significant cultural exchange and transformation. This book explores the global reach of Viking culture, tracing its connections with Christian Europe and the Islamic world. From the late eighth to the early eleventh centuries, the Vikings' expansion had a profound impact on the cultures of Europe, Byzantium, and the Middle East. New discoveries in archaeology and metal detection have shed light on the interconnected nature of these cultures. This book draws on a wealth of Viking objects to provide a rich and vivid account of their influence throughout the world. Edited by Gareth Williams, Peter Pentz, and Matthias Wemhoff, with contributions from key experts, it offers a compelling narrative that highlights the complexities of Viking culture. With its strong narrative and integrated illustrations, this book provides a unique perspective on the Vikings' global impact.
